Yucca plant is pollinated by:
1. | Gecko lizard | 2. | Honey bees |
3. | Pronuba moth | 4. | Wind |
Whether a pollen grain will be able to germinate on a stigma is primarily decided by:
1. | The stage at which the pollen is shed |
2. | Recognition by the stigma |
3. | Maturity of the egg cell in the embryosac |
4. | Environmental conditions |
Syngamy in angiosperms results in the formation of:
1. | A haploid cell | 2. | A diploid cell |
3. | A triploid cell | 4. | A polyploid cell |
The outer hard layer of the pollen wall is made up of:
1. | Callose, which is easily digested by enzymes |
2. | Sporopollenin, which is resistant to all enzymes |
3. | Hemicellulose, which is difficult to digest by enzymes |
4. | Calcium pectate, which is easily digested by enzymes |
In over 60 % of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at:
1. | 2-celled stage | 2. | 3-celled stage |
3. | 4-celled stage | 4. | 1-celled stage |
The body of the ovule fuses with the funicle in the region called:
1. | Chalaza |
2. | Micropyle |
3. | Hilum |
4. | Nucellus |
Division of functional megaspore can be described as:
1. | Three free nuclear mitotic divisions. |
2. | One meiotic and two mitotic divisions, all free nuclear. |
3. | Three cytoplasmic mitotic divisions. |
4. | One meiotic and two mitotic divisions, meiotic being cytoplasmic and mitotic being free nuclear. |
Transfer of pollens from the anther to the stigma of the same flower is called:
1. | Autogamy | 2. | Geitonogamy |
3. | Xenogamy | 4. | Cleistogamy |
Majority of plants:
1. | Use abiotic agents for pollination |
2. | Use biotic agents for pollination |
3. | Do not use any agent for pollination |
4. | Use both abiotic and biotic agents for pollination. |
Pollens grains are long ribbon-like and are carried passively in water in:
1. | female plants remain submerged in water |
2. | male plants remain submerged in water |
3. | both male and female plants remain submerged in water |
4. | both male and female plants reach the surface of the water. |
